It is truly saddening to see what has become of Journalism today - a once noble pursuit. Once upon a time, journalists held to a standard of attempting to remain objective in spite of their personal feelings about an issue. This standard has been bastardized and forgotten by today's joke for journalistic integrity. If any major media outlet used such a sphrase they should be sued for misleading advertising. The only standard today's journalists seem to hold themselves accountable to is to lie about their subjectiveness in position and writing!
Most of us have known about the putrid subjectiveness of the mainstream media (called Clown Journalists in further address in this post) for everything on the left! We now have stirring evidence of this written about by none other than one of their own. Bill Dedman, a writer for MSNBC, has done us all a favor and gathered information regarding political contributions made by journalists. The article is titled "Journalists dole out cash to politicians (quietly)". You can read it for yourself here. The evidence, while not stunning to those of us whose head has not been buried in the sand for the past 10 years, is very revealing.
Out of 144 journalists that were found to have made campaign contributions, 125 of them gave to Democratic or Liberal causes! That is a whopping 87% folks! Only 16 journalists gave strictly to Republican or Conservative causes (a measely 11%), while 2 journalists (1.4% gave to both the Republican and Democratic parties. The ridiculous proportion of these contributions paints a complete picture of the love affair the media has for Liberal and therefore, Democratic causes. It is not a 3 to 1 ratio or even 4 to 1, it is almost 8 to 1! How is that for fair and balanced? One turd of a Journalist donated $500.00 to the Kerry Presidential campaign while he was embedded in Iraq with the troops. I wonder of his reporting of the Iraqi events was shaded in any way!?
As the article points out "But with polls showing the public losing faith in the ability of journalists to give the news straight up, some major newspapers and TV networks are clamping down. (on campaign contributions and political activity of reporters)" Is it any wonder?
The New York Times is quoted in the article as having a policy stating "Given the ease of Internet access to public records of campaign contributors, any political giving by a Times staff member would carry a great risk of feeding a false impression that the paper is taking sides." Sorry New York Times, anyone with a 5th grade education can see that your rag of a paper leans so far left its a wonder the building is still standing! A false impression indeed.
One shameless Fox TV reporter in Omaha, Calvert Collins, posted a picture of herself with a Democratic candidate for Congress (Jim Esch) on her Facebook.com page, urged her friends to vote for him and also gave him $500.00! When asked about all of this and objectivity she had the audacity to say that she was just trying to build rapport with the candidate and that her Daddy actually wrote the check! The shameless Ms Collins should be fired immediately. To us it looks like she was trying to snake her tongue down the Congrsssional hopeful's throat! This is the sad state journalism now finds itself in with shamelessly biased and questionable character reporters like Ms. Collins.
The ridiculous bias the courrent Clown Journalists have towards favoring the left is extremely troubling. We'd like to now how it got there and what we can do about it? The first thing is that any decent news organization should screen candidates with an eye toward political leaning. If you can't control someone's political beliefs, you certainly can make sure those working for you balance each other out can't you? We'll see if the Clown Journalists attempt to do something about this or just continue to lie to all Americans saying that they may have personal beliefs one way, but it doesn't affect their writing or reporting. Yeah Right!
My money is on the lying by the way.

Calvert Collins was fired Friday.
Good! That is what should have happened. In a professional position you need to act like a professional and if someone needs to tell you that, then you are in serious trouble.
